Intel CD8069504198002 2.4 GHz 165W server processor

Server processor for multi-threaded workloads

This Intel server CPU operates at 2.4 GHz with a 165 W thermal design power. It integrates a memory controller rated for DDR4 2933 and provides 35.75 MB of L3 cache. The processor is aimed at environments that need sustained multi-core throughput rather than peak single-thread speed.

Cache and power envelope for dense deployments

The 35.75 MB L3 cache helps reduce latency when many threads share data sets. A 165 W TDP means the cooling solution must handle substantial sustained heat output in a rack chassis. The DDR4 2933 controller supports standard server memory modules without requiring proprietary DIMMs.

Stepping up from lower-cache or lower-TDP parts

Moving to this model makes sense when workloads exceed the cache capacity or power budget of lesser server CPUs. The larger L3 and higher TDP headroom allow more cores to run at base frequency for longer periods. Buyers who need fewer cores or a lower power envelope should consider smaller variants instead.
